Gary "Mani" Mounfield, bassist with legendary Manchester band the Stone Roses, has died at the age of 63.

Hearing this bass line open their debut record told you right away it was something special.

I wouldn’t have guessed any member of the Stone Roses was in their 60s, but I’m almost there too. Time flies.

They were probably one of my first introductions to “alternative” music in the late 80s and 90s. That song is still a regular on my playlist.

Metallica used to do a thing when they were in a particular city, they would do a cover from band from that city.

Robert Trujillo isn't a vocalist, so no judgement. I just thought it was cool that they did it at all.

Best Manchester Band?

Tough call, but I vote New Order.
